Why it is the best: You can't not love these characters. When the secondary characters steal your heart as much as these ones do, you have a winner. TTEN also stands out in a genre where everything is starting to feel the same.

Why it is the best: The world building. The praise from Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson (you've never watched Ghost Hunters?!?!) backs this up. I'm not an expert by any means, but I know a fair bit about the paranormal and much of this book is solid. Unbreakable also had one of my favourite beginnings to a book this year!And I leave you with a question: What was your favourite read of 2013? If I had to choose one of these, I don't think I could! I just can't commit.

Sadly I have not read any of these! Most of them are on my TBR list but I still can't believe out of all of your favorite reads this year I haven't read even one. Sad day. Hopefully I will be reading them in 2014!
